Marshall DB with a depth-chart edge and special-teams value
Wingate profiles as a useful **defensive back fit** for Marshall because the program’s recent defensive production suggests real playing-time opportunities, and Marshall has leaned on players who can contribute in multiple phases. Public team stat pages do not provide detailed individual defensive numbers for Wingate, so his best value is inferred from roster context: a DB who can help in coverage, tackle reliably, and bring special-teams energy is the kind of player that tends to earn snaps in a physical Sun Belt defense. If you want a sturdy, assignment-sound defender rather than a highlight-only playmaker, he is worth a look.
